Texas offers 1,400 acres to incoming Trump administration for MIGRANT DETENTION facility

11/27/2024 / By Ava Grace

The state of Texas, through the Texas General Land Office (GLO), has offered 1,400 acres of land to the incoming second Trump administration for a migrant detention, processing and deportation facility.

The offer came in the form of a letter sent by Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham. According to Breitbart News, the GLO head offered a 1,400-acre tract of land in Starr County near the Lone Star State’s border with Mexico. Buckingham’s officer purchased the land from a rancher in October, in order to build additional sections of border wall along the Texas-Mexico border.

Fox News‘ Adam Shaw reported that the area is a known drug and human smuggling hotspot, per Texas law enforcement. But the state’s acquisition of the land could bring about some much-needed change. A GLO spokesman told Breitbart News that the state will build an approximately 1.5-mile border wall along the property’s area facing the Rio Grande.

“The previous owner had refused to allow the wall to be built and actively blocked law enforcement from accessing the property. Her actions enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land for some time,” Buckingham wrote in her letter.

She continued that the GLO is “fully prepared to enter into an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to allow a facility to be built for the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”

“By offering this newly acquired 1,400-acre property to the incoming Trump administration for the construction of a facility for the processing, detention, and coordination of what will be the largest deportation of violent criminals in our nation’s history, I stand united with [President-elect] Donald Trump to ensure American families are protected,” the land commissioner later told Breitbart News.

“No longer will the rape and murder of our sons and daughters be tolerated. Our state will remain a beacon of hope, justice and dignity for all who call Texas home.”

Texas taking the lead on BORDER SECURITY

According to the National Pulse, “the acquisition is part of a broader strategy to bolster security.” It noted that “in the past, land ownership issues have hampered federal law enforcement activities at the border and, in some instances, allowed illicit activities to continue unabated” – as Buckingham outlined in her letter.

The land offered by the Lone Star State is located about 20 miles east of Fronton Island. Buckingham made headlines last year when she designated the 170-acre island, located along the Rio Grande, as state property. The strategically important Fronton Island had been used as cover for drug and human smuggling operations.

Her decision to declare the island as state property disrupted smuggling routes utilized by cartels. This also “demonstrate the GLO’s active participation in supporting Texas’ role in federal immigration policies,” the Pulse continued.

Meanwhile, the president-elect has hinted at the potential use of military forces to support his border control measures, especially regarding the arrest and separation of members of violent criminal gangs. To this end, he has appointed former acting ICE Director Tom Homan as his border czar.
